<p>A new 100-peso banknote, the third in a new family of bills, was
placed in circulation Thursday by the central bank.</p>
<p>Featuring the likeness of 17th century feminist poet and nun
Sister Juana Inés de la Cruz on one side and an image of monarch
butterflies in a pine, oak and fir forest on the other, the
predominantly red-colored note is made of polymer rather than
paper.</p>
<p>“It has a vertical format and unique security elements,” Bank of
México Governor Alejandro Díaz de León told a press conference.</p>
<div class="code-block code-block-2" style="">
<div class="ad-inpost"> </div>
</div>
<p>Among them: embossing perceptible by touch on the Sor (Sister)
Juana side, a transparent window similar to those on the existing
20-peso and 50-peso banknotes, a multicolor denomination and
fluorescent ink.</p>
<p>Presenting the new note, Díaz described Sor Juana as an “erudite
and combative writer who fought to overcome the obstacles that
limited women’s access to culture.”</p>
<p>She became “one of the most important protagonists of
Spanish-American literature in the 17th century,” he said.</p>
<p>While speaking about the reverse side of the note, Díaz said that
forests cover 16% of Mexico’s territory and play an important role
in supporting Mexico’s biodiversity. The monarch butterflies
featured on the note <a
href="https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/butterfly-photographed-in-guanajuato-had-been-tagged-in-iowa/">migrate
to forests in México state and Michoacán</a> from Canada and the
United States every year.</p>
<p>The new 100-peso note replaces a paper bill featuring the
likeness of Nezahualcóyotl, a ruler of the city-state of Texcoco
in the 15th century. That note remains legal tender but will be
gradually withdrawn from circulation.</p>

</div>
<p>The release of the new banknote comes two years after <a
href="https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/juarez-gray-whale-grace-new-banknote/">a
new 500-peso bill</a> featuring images of former president
Benito Juárez and a gray whale entered circulation and one year
after <a
href="https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/new-200-peso-note-coming-in-september/">a
new 200-peso note</a> was introduced.</p>
<p>The face of Sor Juana appeared on the old 200-peso note but was
removed in favor of independence heroes Miguel Hidalgo and José
Morelos on the new one. The other side of the new 200-peso bill
features an eagle flying over the Sonoran desert.</p>
<p>The fourth and fifth members of the new family of notes will be
1,000-peso and 50-peso bills.</p>
<p>The new 1,000-peso note will feature the 33rd president of
Mexico, Francisco I. Madero, Revolution-era feminist Hermila
Galindo and revolutionary Carmen Serdán. A jaguar will stalk its
reverse side next to an image of the ancient Mayan city of
Calakmul.</p>
<p>The axolotl, a species of salamander endemic to Mexico City’s
Lake Xochimilco, will be featured on one side of <a
href="https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/axolotl-to-appear-on-new-50-peso-bill/">the
new 50-peso bill</a>, while gracing the other will be an image
commemorating the founding of Tenochtitlán, the capital of the
Aztec empire at the time of the Spanish conquest.</p>
